Neti Pot

Our allergies are horrid right now. The news said this morning to expect it to be a very bad allergy year. Both kids are miserable right now and I know for me, meds. just take the edge off of the misery, I still have a yucky nose and itch eyes, throat and ears it's just not as bad as if I am not on the meds. Last night in the middle of my sleep I woke up sneezing like crazy. I had to rip of my mask in a hurry, because I don't like to sneeze in it, and frantically search for tissue. So I decided to give this Neti Pot thing a try. I figured it can't hurt much to run saline through my nasal cavity. Well I just did the Neti Pot for the first time and I can't decided what to think. I was under the impression that very gross nasty stuff would come out the first time I used it and nothing did. It was just clear water, or saline. And now I think I have more pressure in my ears then I did before I did the treatment. I plan to give this a try for a month or so to see if I improve. I am hoping to be able to talk the kids into this also. I sorta see them freaking out on me. I will let you all know what my opinion of this is as time goes on.
